Today is soggy; miserably humid paired with uninspiring cloudy warmth. A moderate two mile walk in the shade resulted in a sweat-soaking. Enter the P&F in d minor. The nice thing about Bach is that you can play his music slow or fast, and it works both ways, although some interpretations are better than others. This prelude works best at a crisp clip, perhaps a little less crisp on the fugue to relish the indicated turns. However, I am sight reading and feeling moistly uncomfortable, so I slogged through at too slow a tempo, oozing into the final picardy third of the fugue. Life is not always exciting.
